Bones: A Love Letter to Science, Sarcasm, and the Squint Squad

Let me start with a confession: I didn’t expect to fall in love with a show that opens nearly every episode with a decomposed corpse. But Bones — oh, Bones — is not your average procedural. It’s crime-solving wrapped in anthropology, sprinkled with conspiracy theories, topped with slow-burning romances that will make you scream “JUST KISS ALREADY!”.

Deep red rose on a black, otherwise "darked out" image. Rose is lying on the ground, with a short stem and leaves piercingly obvious. The cover of the book "Carmilla" (all black and white with two women illustrated from the Gothic era, looking off into the distance) in upper right hand corner. In deep red text, matching the rose's color, Carmilla: Review of a Classic Vampire Novella. Zina Mona.

Carmilla: a Review of the Classic Vampire Novella

Filled with gothic imagery, Carmilla makes for a dark and spooky reading experience. I was immediately enamored with the setting, from the vast castle to the village ruins. I easily became absorbed in the story, and the tense atmosphere from the start pulled me right through to the end.

Trigger Warning: This piece contains violence, mental health trauma, and animal harm. At Halloweentime he thought he could hear it. Like bees buzzing under thick glass. Like a humming mumble. He could almost feel it.

Abbott Elementary: A Review of a Workplace Comedy & Mockumentary

The comedy hits good and hard, not just because it’s clever, but because it’s rooted in something real. I love when a show makes me laugh and then immediately makes me feel something deeper. That’s the rhythm this one nails.
